I love these books and listen to them on the train on my phone in the morning.These people who? say they are boring are the people who who probably do not own any books at home, read The Sun newspaper and play Xbox all day long

Exactly. A bunch of successfully trained blockheads that would rather listen to the same braindead plots over and over on an idiot box than clever thought out plots from the classics. Books like this teach you how to think more sharply. It also increases the vocabularly knowledge.
I've? seriously witnessed shows on tv where they argue over a chair.... O_O That's the very definition of boring.

these people who all think this is boring? seem to me to have one of three things in common. They seem to either A like not Holmes himself but rather the telivision images that satisfy the needs of the mystery and have nothing left to the imagination, ie dullards. Or B They do not have half the reasoning power or the imaging power to see the adventures as they truley are and relish only actors portraying innate adventures that neither ignite the mind nor swell imagination.
